And this illustrates what we are going to see from fans all year long: no matter how well he plays, they will quote his save percentage, which will continue to look poor, due to these first 15 games.
No amount of success from Markstrom, going forward, will appease some fans, because this number will continue to look weak, even when he is playing well.

I think fans, myself included, look to see wins, reduction in awful back breaking gaffs and more confidence inspiring play from Markstrom. If his gaa is higher than last year and we make the playoffs and he doesn't shart the bed, I'll be happy. Time will tell.
